Preheat the oven to 190°C. Finely chop the onion and sauté in a knob of butter, let cool.

Mix the minced meat well with the rest of the ingredients and the cooled onion, divide into 8 and form nice round balls. Melt another knob of butter in the pan and fry the balls for 5 minutes all around in the butter with bay leaves, then bake for another 20 minutes in the oven.

Pour only the juice of the cherries into a pot, set aside about 150 ml and mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch. Bring the juice to a boil and add the cornstarch mixture, stir well, add the zest of orange and cinnamon, and mix in the cherries, let it come to a brief boil and it’s done.

Bake the croquettes and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
